A Letter From the Dance Supervisor
Dear Audience,
Welcome to our 2026 Spring Dance Recital. Each year, we come together to witness the growth of our dancers. This year is no exception. I have been back in the studio and so pleased to see our young dancers learning about how to work as a team and how to adapt to new situations. Dancing is widely known as the best form of exercise to increase cognitive function. Your dancers have learned to combine rhythm, physical movement and emotional engagement. I am so proud of what they have accomplished! Thank you for sharing your young dancers with us. We have loved seeing their faces week after week and are ready to bring our recital to life for you today. You may see some new classes on stage this year-Storybook Ballet and Aero. Thanks to our teachers and dancers for making these successful. Good luck to all of the dancers! Please enjoy the show!
Much joy and appreciation,
Heather Goldman
Dance Supervisor
